My BG would normally be in the 120 - 140 range 2 hours after eating. If your BG is dropping after 2 hours, it probably means that there is too much basal action. You should be able to skip a meal (and the corresponding bolus) and your blood sugar shouldn't change much. You may need to reduce your Levimir to make this happen.
